design & renovation is such a rush!
what a week! in 7 days, we have confirmed the ID firm to handle the design and renovation for the house, going to start shopping for the stuff like the tiles, lights, fixtures etc within the week and then move into the place towards the end of March. it's going to be rush rush rush!never realised exactly how much goes into renovating a house; it's like advanced managment making sure that all the external factors are all catered for and taken care of. details like applying for renovation permission, confirming the firm, making sure there's enough money in the bank suddenly loom bigger because of the shorter time-frame.
no wonder, they say moving house is stressful. well, fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong and that it will be a smooth move and then looking forward to all the house parties and gatherings after! it will be nice to finally call some place my own as well, i reckon.
btw, tks dear for the great recommendation for our anniversary dinner last week. don't think i mentioned it and i should have; it was a good choice. *grin*
caught this article in the straits times today. such a beautiful moment for the content in question. but i bet they never realised 5000 years later, that they would be a perfect photo opp. maybe the human race has got some hope afterall.
Call it the eternal embrace.Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
'It's an extraordinary case,' said Ms Elena Menotti, who led the team on the dig near the northern city of Mantova. 'There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging.'
Ms Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.
'When we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years... but I've never been so moved, because this is the discovery of something special.'
A laboratory will try to determine the couple's age at the time of death and how long they had been buried.
